There is some debate about who has the best defensive talent in the NFC East heading into this season. The Giants and Eagles each have some selling points.

After breaking it down position by position and adding up the points, Eliot had the Eagles with a slim edge over the Giants. Jordan had the Giants with a slim edge over the Eagles.

Really, more than anything, it's indicative of the lack of defensive talent on the Redskins and Cowboys. It was agreed upon that the Cowboys (minus DeMarcus Ware, Sean Lee and Jason Hatcher) were basically devoid of defensive talent ... everywhere! The Redskins only had a few bright spots.

Eliot had Dallas last in every defensive category aside from safety, where they finished third. Jordan had them last in every defensive except for cornerback, where he had them second.

For the Giants, they can point to their revamped secondary, which is loaded with talent on the backend that helped them finish near the top of our rankings. The Eagles had steady marks throughout, earning all 1s and 2s from Eliot, and just one 3 (cornerbacks) from Jordan.
